steve handelsman has reaction from the white house, and adam tuss on the police presence here in washington, we begin with shomari. >> reporter: good evening, as you walk down the street you see the uniformed officers walking around, looking for anything suspicious. let me move out of the way. we are approximately 75 yards from the finish line near where the two explosions went off. and many people have sad looks on their faces and started a makeshift memorial to honor the victims nearby. a memorial with flowers, flags, paying tribute to the more than 170 people hurt. three who died after the explosions. right now, security is heightened. the police and atf and fbi investigate. this group wears white suits so they don't contaminate more than

the ten blocks of crime scene. the perimeter is blocked down, roads closed, authorities look for anything suspicious. >> it is certainly something i have not seen before. it is scary, but it is also a comfort level at the same time. >> a little more relieving, knowing that everybody is out here helping. >> reporter: law enforcement officials tell nbc news they believe both bombs were hidden in the backpacks like this one on the street. discarded like personal property. they believe the bombs were triggered by a device, like a cell phone. killing three, like 8-year-old martin richard. the people on the streets hope they find the bomber. >> the worst thing, we couldn't find out who did it. that would just say they could get away with this. >> reporter: now people continue to walk around the perimeter, many snapping photos on their cell phones. and police want people who snapped photos yesterday during the race capturing images. if you notice anything suspicious they would like you

to share that with the boston police department. live here in boston, i'm shomari stone. all right, the flags are at half staff to honor the victims of the bombing. the flag will remain lowered until april 20th out of respect. and the president will go to boston on thursday, speaking at a service dedicated to those killed or gravely wounded in the bombings. earlier today, the president spoke to the nation with a message of strong resolve. steve handelsman has more. >> reporter: thank you, good evening, perhaps the most significant statement out of the obama administration today didn't come from the president. it was a written release by janet napolitano, the obama department of homeland security secretary. she said why obama had decided to issue the reassurance. there are probable no broader attacks, no more anywhere in the

u.s. that is reassuring. here in washington, the public is wary, and they dominate what the congress is talking about. >> reporter: big issues like gun control are out of the spotlight. the horrifying attack dominates the americans' attention, but pulls americans together. this is the chicago tribute, solidarity, from one area to another. in pain. citing how bostonians rushed in to help the injured. president obama sent a message of solidarity and defiance. >> you want to know who we are and who america is, how we respond to evil? that is it. selfless selflessly, compassionatly. >> reporter: any time bombs are

used, it is an act of terror, he says, the lawmaker got an intel briefing last week. >> there was no evidence at all, no intelligence that seemed to be out there. >> reporter: the top senate republican was critical. >> i think it is safe to say that for many, the complacency prior to september 11th, has actually returned. >> reporter: today, nervousness has returned, false alarms at cleveland and boston airport, suspicious packages. >> we wouldn't let the attack in boston keep us from the normal daily routines. >> reporter: and most americans seem to agree. >> lawmakers taking the spotlight are vowing to hold hearings on boston, as soon as they can. live from the hill, i'm steve handelsman, news 4. and the victims of the bombings just spoke a while ago. >> reporter: actually, just as we began the broadcast we got information about the third suspect. i want to tell you about that, rather, the third victim in this incident.

i want to tell you quickly about that, the statement from the president at boston university says that the third victim is identified as a boston university graduate student who was there as a spectator at the marathon yesterday. that is all the information that they're releasing about that individual. again, we are also learning more about krystle campbell, who was a 29-year-old from medford, massachusetts, was also a spectator at the marathon yesterday, had gone there with a friend to watch another person run the marathon. as they were waiting for him to cross the finish line the explosion happened. her family today, very emotional. speaking about krystle campbell. >> we are heartbroken, at the depths -- for krystle marie -- everybody that knew her loved her.

she loved her dog. she -- she had a heart of gold. she was all smiles, we couldn't ask for a better daughter, we couldn't believe it happened. such a hard worker, in everything she did. >> reporter: the other victim, the third victim in this incident identified earlier as 8-year-old martin richard, also of boston. just a sad situation as we learn more about the victims from the bombings. back to you. all right, aaron gilchrist, thank you. here in washington there is extra security presence at tourist locations. earlier this morning the lincoln memorial was shut down, but nothing specific. the bomb-sniffing dogs searched trash cans there. the memorial was reopened after it was checked out. whether you are taking metro or flying out any time soon you will notice an added security presence here regarding transportation. adam tuss has a look at the changes appropriated in our

transportation system by the bombing yesterday, adam? >> reporter: hey, doreen, we're learning more about how our local transportation agencies are coordinating with agencies around the country to keep everybody safe. as you can see here, plenty of people are coming and going regardless of the heightened state of alert. from metro to amtrak to the airport, you can see and feel the extra presence here in the nation's capitol. >> any precautionary measure is youthful. >> reporter: this metro rider in town from paris says his thoughts and prayers go out to those in boston. he understands the added security here. >> i think the psychological health of people is very important. you don't want too many people anxious and worrying. >> reporter: the metro transit police chief says that metro is actually getting information directly from authorities in boston to adjust the way transit police here act. >> we base our deployment and strategy on that. so if it is checking trash cans

or stations, rail cars, buses, everything you could imagine. >> reporter: he says some of the things the metro pitchis lookin, bags on the ground, such items will be kept into place until all the attacks come into focus. for others, it stirred up emotions. >> it reminded me it could happen anywhere. >> reporter: amtrak stepped up patrols in sweeps of stations. at the airport, the mood is one of increased security. balancing security measures against getting where you need to go. one spokesperson said it is a juggling act. >> we have to make sure that things like bag checks are not intrusive. and how we don't undermine the situation that makes the transit system so reliable, quick and efficient service. >> reporter: back here, another interesting note we're getting about the local transportation agencies. they say they're all coordinating regularly on conference calls.

was not at the electrical lines. >> it sounded like two canons. >> reporter: she is back in bethesda, hurting from soreness. she finished just before the bomb blasts, fighting exhaustion and running to the finish line, rather than slowing down the last mile. >> had i walked i would probably have been right there when it happened. and that is terrifying to think about. >> reporter: there is no hesitation when i asked if you would return to the marathon. >> i think the race is fantastic, people of boston are fantastic. this is horrible that somebody would target such a race. it is the super bowl of running events. >> there were folks that had died, and also were badly injured. and we want to prove that the united states is a great place and we recover from these types of issues. >> they will train and qualify again, they say, because to them, the boston marathon is the holy grail. doreen and jim?

at the korean war memorial, tourists in the nation's capitol were acutely aware of the boston bombing. but there was resolution not to give into fear of it happening here. any concerns about boston as you brought children to events like this today? >> well, we were just a little concerned. some of the relatives from back home were calling us. it is such a sad thing that happened. just awful. but like you said, you know, we go from day to day. >> reporter: some were surprised when they completely shut down the memorial for security sweeps and tests. there was no security incident. and soon enough, the popular monument was opened again and tourists swarmed the famous steps. resolute. >> we should not walk in fear, because americans are not built that way. >> reporter: the street festival down here, you may hear some of

days. current temperatures, 73 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, mostly sunny skies, winds at 13 miles an hour. the sun helped today and the wind helped, with the southerly component to the wind. we'll continue to see it in the next day or so at least down to the south. 73 culpeper, 72, charlottevil s charlottesville, the clouds holding in. as we make our way through the overnight hours tomorrow this is coming our way. you can see severe thunderstorm watches here, pittsburgh, the area in the purple, thunderstorms making their way down towards the southeast. again, the front comes closer to the region. i don't expect to see strong thunderstorms in our area. however, can't rule out a couple of storms, especially south of this front. watch what happens with the front, it moves through the area during the day tomorrow. north of the front, cooler, south of the front, a little

warmer on the side. i expect to see a few showers, maybe a thunderstorm. but i'm not expecting tomorrow to be a washout. let's look at the numbers, as i mentioned to the north of the front, cooler, to the north, 70 in frederick, 65 in annapolis, and 60 in hagerstown. to the south, 80, near culpeper and fredericksburg, this is the area that will be warmer. you have the best chance of seeing thunderstorm activity during the day tomorrow. but as i mentioned, only about a 30% chance. watch what happens with the boundary, doesn't keep moving south. goes right back to the north. bringing the warm air back for everybody, on thursday, friday, looking very nice. early fog, breaking into sunshine, thursday looking break, friday, a good chance of strong storms for just about everybody. we'll talk about that, too. tomorrow, mostly cloudy, areas of fog, 65 degrees. tomorrow afternoon, mostly cloudy, light showers possible

with again, those storms. but down to the south, temperatures 70, to 80 degrees. a big range in temperatures over the entire area, next couple of days, 73 tomorrow, 76 on thursday, 80 on friday with the late-day thundershower, most likely, after 5:00. maybe right around rush hour, early saturday, chance of activity, clearing out for the weekend, the weekend looking good, looking much more like a late march or early april weekend than where we stand right now. temperatures in the mid-to-upper 60s, i think we'll be in the low 60s for the most part. at least for most of us. saturday, don't expect it to be a washout either. if you have plans, maybe the baseball game coming up at 10 or 11 clock in the morning. >> my practice is at 11:30. >> is that you? >> get ready.

recently won the endorsement of the virginia tech shooting victim, christina anderson. we spoke to her by skype. >> at least it would alert us in advance, and at least if we had the tools to share the information and pictures. >> reporter: since the virginia tech shootings, nearly all campuses have instituted an alert system. and there is a convention all means of calling for help. the creators of the app says it offers a two-way system with the campus officials. >> reporter: from their offices, they used an ipad to use the app. students can start like this, a series of icons appear. >> you can see a fight starting, notes for law enforcement. you can decide to include picture or video evidence. >> reporter: the student then gets to decide whether to send the tip to police anonymously. another live safe feature is this map, showing any incidents that occurred in or around

explosion at the library and other explosive devices found. is that true? >>. >> reporter: no, your absolutely right. the library fire was just that, appeared to be an electrical fire and was not in any way associated with what happened here. there was also a lot of speculation that undetonated explosives were found. they had actually found bombs not exploded. today, the fbi and local authorities really going out of their way to make sure everybody knows it was not the case. that would be tremendous evidence. they did that, as they continued to urge anyone with any picture, any video, anything that they might consider evidence to please turn that over to authorities, even if you were not at the finish line, but somewhere along the race route it could help in their investigation, they say. >> all right, jay gray in boston. meanwhile, a teacher in the baltimore area is among the 170 people injured in the blast.

used his skill set. in the nba, being seven foot tall gives you potential being paid. >> i have decided i want to take the next step and enter my name in the nba draft. my family and i have been thinking about it for sometime now. and together, with the coach we came to the conclusion that i think this is going to be the best decision for me. and in my career. >> quick little story, his mom, which you wouldn't be able to see, came in, gave him this little hurdle from maryland. she said i gave it to you, alex, as a baby. when he leaves here i want him to be a man. and he has grown up a lot. i think he will be the number one pick in the draft. that is what i think about him. they're talking about the other guy being number one. you guys saw the same game i saw when we played him earlier in the year. this kid will be special. >> he is grown into a very big

turtle. all right, baseball time, the wins the nats needed. a 10-3 thumping of the marlins out of miami last night. tonight they look for more of the same without three of the starters in the lineup. danny espinosa, out with an injury, and bryce harper out with the flu. the nationals rebounded in a big way. bats wide awake. ten runs, 16 hits, including this run from ryan zimmerman, the first of the year by the way. not the only one coming through for the nationals, starting, jordan zimmerman, a nightmare for the fish. placido polanco, zimmerman tosses career game number two, improving to 3 and 0 on the

season, and the nationals win big. >> obviously, it is nice to have success, jordan did a great job today, seems like we all do better when jordan pitches, last year we didn't hit for him, this year we are. amazing how things turn around. good game all the way around. take the wins with the losses, i guess. >> phillies's outfielder, with a tribute on his glove, during the game he showed the glove off. check this out. drive to deep center. revere lays out for the catch of the season. pops up, hits the cut-off man, doubles up the runner at first. what a play by ben revere. man. even the fact he plays for the phillies, you got to appreciate that. i don't care who you root for. ben revere was the catch of the year thus far. the nfl set to announce the regular season schedule thursday night at 8:00. the skins certainly are going to

today. high temperatures in the 70s, for the most part, 74 in washington, 60 in annapolis. 70 down towards fredericksburg, notice the temperatures, fairly similar tomorrow, except for the folks to the north. gaithersburg, frederick, cooler. high temperatures in the d.c. metro your, around 73 or 4 where they were today. 30% chance of showers, possible thunderstorms to the south of d.c. high of 76 on thursday, thursday looking nice and warm. 80 on friday as the storm system approaches. that will bring us a chance of strong thunderstorms late in the day, right now, i don't think they will be too severe. but we'll watch it very closely. they should be out of here on saturday, talking about a 30% chance of shower activity. most likely before 10 a.m. on saturday, and most of the day on the dry side. the weekend looking cooler. high temperatures in the low 60s for most of us, so with sunshine we should be
